But then I am unable to use softvol volume control. Similarly, I can disable dmix and get a native sample rate (for example 96 kHz):

Code:

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm hw
}

But I have no idea how to combine these three configurations so that I get softvol volume control, 24 bit and 96 kHz output (the soundcard can do either 16 or 24 bit and 48 or 96 kHz). Could anyone help me, please?

But don't worry about the samplerate - I've never noticed the slightest difference, on anything expect a single demonstration file (from Ubuntu bug) consisting of crazy audio tones, which was created solely to illustrate the difference in the algorithms.

Edit: Added link to wav file.

I'd word this differently : If you can notice the difference, then, you should not use an Alsa plugin for resampling. _________________
